Description for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
Paperback. Tells the story of the boy in the striped pyjamas. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: YFC. Category: (J) Children / Juvenile. Dimension: 199 x 129 x 14. Weight in Grams: 182.
The story of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some clues about the book on the cover, but in this case we think that would spoil the reading of the book. We think it is important that you start to read without knowing what it is about.
If you do start to read this book, you will go on a journey with a nine-year-old boy called Bruno. And sooner or later you will arrive with Bruno at a fence.
We hope you never have to cross such a fence.

Reviews for The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
An account of a dreadful episode, short on actual horror but packed with overtones that remain in the imagination. Plainly and sometimes archly written, it stays just ahead of its readers before delivering its killer punch in the final pages
Independent
A small wonder of a book. Bruno's education is conducted slowly, through a series of fleeting social encounters rather than by plunging him into a nightmare landscape
Guardian
An extraordinary tale of friendship and the horrors of war seen through the eyes of two young boys, it's stirring stuff. Raw literary talent at its best. More please!
Irish Independent
Quite impossible to put down, this is the rare kind of book that doesn't leave your head for days. Word of mouth should be strong and this has the potential to cross over to an adult audience. A unique and captivating novel, which I believe deserves huge success
The Bookseller
Overwhelmingly powerful . . . This is a story so exceptional and vivid that it cannot be erased from the mind
Carousel
Set to become a publishing phenomenon
Irish Examiner
A powerful and emotionally-charged piece of literature
Yorkshire Evening Post
It's that very rare thing - a book so simple, so seemingly effortless, that it's almost perfect
